    Haha. My sister, fully paid up member of the throw-money-at-problems camp thinks I'm mental. Or in her words "you're f*ing mad you are."

    He he, great story! I can just picture it.

    We had the frantic stuffing the car on our last day too, except it was just the one small car, the passenger had boxes piled on their lap for an hour's journey.

    Was the agent lettings only or an estate agent too? I suspect they will discover the sale, even I get my areas of choice of sales emailed to me each month by https://www.houseprices.co.uk. A quick look at the completion date and they'll buy the entry from the land registry (three pounds to us, but they've probably got some deal on that) and your name will be there. But it's the landlord's bill not yours.

    That's genius! Can just imagine the confused look on the agents face. Especially liked the bit about "Clancy the wire dog and Maybelline my concrete cow"!!
  • No way would I have left a toilet brush for people moving in, & I wouldn't have wanted to touch someone else's even with gloves on. I only brought my own with me when I moved because I didn't want to be forced to use a dirty loo on day one. :eek:

    Bin it completely.
    Buy yourself a new one.
    No point replacing it - they're bound to have their own taste (wrong word!) in bog brushes

    Tilet brushes are rank and full of nasty's anyways, i dont own one and never will, if i bought a house and the prevous people left their toilet brush i'd make them come and remove it _pale_

    I'm a bleach girl. Never had a stain and from a youngish age my children were trained to put bleach down the loo.:A

    When vacating my parents' house (dad had died and mum moved away into a care home), I spent the previous month or so before completion scrubbing everything to within an inch of its life, and the two loos got cleaned on a daily basis. Theoretically there was no need to leave the (almost new) loo brushes but neither did there seem any need to get rid of them.

    I left a loo roll and a spare in each bathroom, plus Harpic and Cif. I left soap in every room with a sink, and an old but clean towel in the downstairs bathroom to tide them over. In the kitchen I left a whole row of cleaning stuff, including polish, oven cleaner and washing up liquid.

    On the kitchen table (which they had asked us to leave) I left a list of all the necessary info, a bottle of fizz (I'm embarrassed now as it was very cheapo) and a card. We also left the kitchen portable TV. I wanted them to move in and feel immediately at home. I think I was trying not to face the fact that it wasn't going to be in the family any more, after 42 years.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    No toilet brush! You guys must be much better potty-trained than I am... sometimes I think my bunghole must be halfway up my back....

  • Lol, love the story Phirefly

    Personally I dont even own a bogbrush, I clean them with toilet wipes

    I will be leaving toilet roll though, the previous tenants before me left new rolls for me and it was something I hadnt ever thought about before but it was a really nice thing to do so I'll be doing the same when I move out :D
  • The previous owners of my house kindly left 2 vibrators in my airing cupboard :eek: :eek: :eek: One of which I only discovered last week as it had become wedged at the back of one of the shelves :eek: :o

    Rubber gloves and plastic bag job that was :rotfl:

    Would have preferred if they'd left coffee and some milk to be honest :rolleyes:
